Parking Brake Cable: Description and Operation
The parking brake uses a cable system that includes one front cable and two rear cables. The front cable connects to the parking brake lever on one end
and the equalizer on the other end. The rear cables attach to the equalizer on one end and the parking brake struts in the drum brakes on the other end.
This vehicle is equipped with coated parking brake cable assemblies. The wire strand is coated with a nylon material that slides over plastic seals inside
the conduit end fittings. This is for corrosion protection and reduced parking brake effort.
NOTE: Handling of the parking brake cables during service requires extra care. Damage to the nylon coating reduces the corrosion protection. If the
damaged area passes through the seal, Increased parking brake effort could result Avoid contacting the coating with sharp-edged tools, or the sharp
surfaces of the vehicle underbody.
